The speed sensor provides the belt speed to the integrator. The load on the belt is given to the integrator by the load cellsThe integrator calculates a rate based on this information and compares it to the set pointThe integrator provides a control signal to a motor speed controlThe motor speed control increases or decreases the belt speed as required

Motion Sensing , Theory of Operation
Used to detect over or under speed of conveyors, rotary feeders, or bucket elevators.
Siemens motion probes utilize the principle of Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction
When a ferromagnetic object crosses a magnetic field, the lines of flux distort, generating a change in current.
This change in current is used to create a pulse.

Acoustic Sensing Theory of Operation
When metal is stressed there is an acoustic emission on the surface of the metal.This acoustic emission is in the 75K to 175K Hz range, well above the audible rangeBecause it is such a high frequency it’s propagation range is very shortThe Siemens AS 100 senses this frequency range and provide a signal proportion to that signal

The Siemens WiPS Radio transmits the data packets in a pseudo random fashion across the 902 to 928 MHz band.
The actual transmission might look something like this.
The Siemens WiPS Receiver is programmed with the “HOP PATTERN” of the transmitter so that it knows when and where to look for the transmitted signal.
